Wells Fargo Work Experiences
4.0
Great work-life balance
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
June 23, 2021
Pros: A good work-life balance is encouraged, at least in the part of Wells Fargo that I work, from the top down. If you want to work long hours, that's up to you. But basically, if you get your work done, you're good.
The managers I've worked under here have been consistently good to work for.
Cons: Very hard to get promoted.
Slow to adopt the latest technology, but that's understandable in my opinion. This is a big company, so changes are comparable to 'turning a battleship' - it takes a while.
But also, security prevents fast adoption of the latest tech.
